Daily Holidays - November 19
Carbonated Beverage with Caffeine Day
Some people cannot have caffeine due to medical reasons, some choose to avoid caffeine for their own reasons and then there are the millions of people who like their caffeine very much. The same is true with the carbonation in beverages. Today’s celebration combines the two of them together. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/latest-posts/
Have A Bad Day Day
Surprisingly, Have A Bad Day Day wasn’t created to recognise that everyone has a bad day. Instead it was created for people who work in a customer service environment and are sick of saying “have a nice day”, and those who are equally sick of hearing it. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/have-a-bad-day-day/
International Men's Day
International Men’s Day was created in 1999 in Trinidad and Tobago. The main purpose of the day is to focus on the health of males. Other aspects of the day include improving gender relations, showing that men can be positive role models, and promoting gender equality. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/international-mens-day/
World Toilet Day
World Toilet Day…at first glance, this seems like an unlikely candidate for a holiday and more like some sort of joke, but the day is nowhere as trivial or humorous as it may seem. All in all, it strives to draw attention to various sanitation issues around the world and work towards resolving them. Despite access to proper sanitation being declared a basic human right, one in three people across the globe, so some 2.5 billion people in total, do not have regular access to a toilet. Additionally, even amongst those who do have such access, unclean and unsafe toilets pose problems of their own, including contributing towards the spread of diseases like cholera, typhoid and hepatitis—in some parts of Africa, diarrhea is one of the main child-killers. Open defecation is also responsible for increasing the number of sexual assaults perpetrated on women and children. Furthermore, when young girls begin menstruating, the lack of privacy forces them to stay home from school, thus limiting their chances of getting a basic education and, what comes after that, a decent job in the future. World Toilet Day’s ultimate goal is to allow everyone on the planet to take care of their most basic needs without having to fear for their safety. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/world-toilet-day/

I might need to celebrate all of those holidays.
Oddly enough some of my best ideas occur while using the toilet. 
Men's Day & Toilet Day fell together.......
I try to forget a lot of them, but they come around anyway!!!
Did you know you have a children's TV show named after you? (It's in Argentina.)
